Agreed! I loved Kristen in Twilight, never understood what and why people didn't like her. So, I am really looking forward to New Moon.

Two words.
MUST WATCH.

In the second one, I think the acting from Kristen, in fact, the whole cast is remarkably better than in Twilight. There's none of that awkwardness. Oh yeah, and the clip itself is epic. I love Catherine Hardwicke, but personally I think Chris is doing a much better job, and I can't wait for Novemeber 19th!

dazzle_me-xx-Loved the KStew commercial. So cute! And I thought the Birthday scene was perfect.

TeAm_EdWaRd-I have seen Speak and KStew was amazing in it. We have talked about that movie before on here, but it never hurts to repeat it. She was only 13 or 14 when she filmed that. And to pull that much emotion off, is just incredible. Her performance had me in tears a few times during that movie. The movie has a very important message as welll. Any KStew fan should definitely see this movie.

Okay before I had seen Twilight was open minded about Kristen, but I think she does much better with the high action scenes rather than the normal every day bits. She just seemed to twitchy.. and awkward.. not like Bella - awkward I mean hard to watch on screen awkward. I dk.. I'm lookin forward to watching her in New Moon - In all the previews I've seen she looks really good! She's sooo pretty - *jealous* I love her style - not as Bella, just in real life. Anyone agree?

Well, I thought she was the perfect Bella. And the latest Harpers Bazaar photoshoot-have you seen it? Holy Crow! THIS just proves what a beautiful vampire she'll make in BD.

“When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie’s tree?”

The thing that bugs me is that some people think if someone didn't like her as Bella in the first movie they are automatically relegating to hating her period. I have no prob with her personally (although I don't condone her drug use or smoking), but I think her portrayal as Bella was awkward in most scenes. Physically, she's very Bella, but the acting seemed off. I hope to be changed of that opinion when New Moon and Eclipse come out though. Her expressions made me cringe in a lot of the scenes such as the one where Edward asks her if she's now unhappy that she's in Forks or during the microscope scene.

I noticed those two scenes too! and the one where its her and Charlie after her "almost accident" with the van, and he tells her to call her mom,.. and the way she reacts is sooo awkward! I can never watch that scene without cringing! I love Kristen.. I do - I don't like being the one person who finds flaws in someone, but some of her mannerisms just bother me. I totally agree though, I'm going to wait to see New Moon to decide how I feel about her, I'm hoping it'll be a lot better
